Overview

Antarctica and the sub-Antarctic Islands are some of the last truly unspoilt regions of the world. The mysterious White Continent, with its multi-coloured ice caps, glistening glaciers and towering snow-capped mountains, offers unparalleled scenery and photographic opportunities. Enormous numbers of penguins, whales, seals and seabirds congregate in the food-rich waters along the Antarctic and sub-Antarctic shores. This voyage on the M/V Plancius offers you opportunities for zodiac cruising between icebergs and landings on the Antarctic continent itself.

This is an Expedition Cruise. Learn about our Travel Styles.
